Intended Use
The ICP Monitor is intended for use as an interface between compatible strain-gauge type pressure transducers and standard physiological pressure monitoring systems. The ICP Monitor is also intended for use as an independent pressure monitor for displaying the mean, systolic and diastolic values of a physiologic pressure waveform in the absence of an external patient monitor.
Device Description
The CereLink ICP Monitor is indicated for use in the ICU or OR environment for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) via a solid-state sensor placed directly in parenchymal tissue or integrated into an external ventricular drainage catheter placed in the ventricle. In addition to monitoring ICP and activating alarms when the intracranial pressure is outside user-set limits, the device performs these functions: - Displays ICP Waveform . - Displays Mean ICP numeric . - Displays the historic mean pressure as a trend . - Displays trend statistics (Pressure Time Dosage (PTD) , time above threshold, boxplot, . histogram) - Stores 14-days' worth of mean ICP values . - . Stores 24 hours of pressure waveform - Can capture and store screen-shots 9 - . Can download various data to a USB device for printing or analysis - Real-time data streaming of mean ICP and waveform via USB connection . - Connect to external patient monitor . The CereLink ICP Monitor can be transported with the patient within the hospital to continuously record data. The monitor includes a 7" color touch screen that is compatible with the use of gloves. The monitor is provided to the user with an CereLink ICP extension cable, external power supply, and comes equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. The monitor has one output channel to transfer physiological data to a compatible Patient Monitor, as well as one input channel to receive ICP readings from the implanted CereLink ICP sensor (cleared via K173192). The implanted sensor is connected to the CereLink ICP Monitor by way of the CereLink ICP Extension Cable (cleared via K183406); the CereLink ICP Monitor connects to compatible patient monitors through the patient monitor interface cables (cleared via K152670).
More Information

No
The summary describes a device for monitoring and displaying physiological pressure data, including waveforms, trends, and statistics. It does not mention any features or functions that would typically involve AI or ML, such as predictive analysis, automated diagnosis, or complex pattern recognition beyond basic statistical calculations and trend display. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is for monitoring intracranial pressure, not for providing therapy. It displays, stores, and trends physiological data but does not administer any treatment or therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as monitoring intracranial pressure and displaying various related values and trends, which are forms of diagnosis to provide information about a patient's medical condition. It also activates alarms when pressure is outside user-set limits, indicating a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the monitor includes a 7" color touch screen, an internal rechargeable battery, an external power supply, and various cables, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The CereLink ICP Monitor is designed to directly measure intracranial pressure within the body (in vivo) using an implanted sensor. It acts as an interface and display for this physiological measurement.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for monitoring intracranial pressure via a sensor placed directly in parenchymal tissue or in a ventricular drainage catheter. This is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, the CereLink ICP Monitor falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

AffectedProposed ModificationRationale
Power
SupplyExternal Power Supply:
• Replace the current 2-pronged (pin) floating power supply for a 3-pronged power supply: this new power supply continues to be Class II but now includes a functional earth connection. The DC output cable is the same length, but now has 2 conductors surrounded by a shield• The change to a grounded power supply is made to substantially reduce the high common mode noise that affects ICP sensor performance. The reference device, Codman ICP Express, (K945585) uses a grounded power supply.

electrical fast transients and
allows the device to meet
the electromagnetic
compatibility requirements.
• Addition of a 330uH choke to the

and the shield.• The addition of a second
conductor within the shield

output cable while
protecting the lines from
external disturbances and
signal coupling.
• There is a slight increase in the
power supply cable diameter from
4.5mm to 5.4mm. There is no change
on the dimensions of the brick itself.
Cord to Outlet Connection:Power supply is provided
with a cord connection to
outlet rather than blade. This
increases the total length of
the power supply from 4m to
6.5m, due to the 2.5m of the
cord connection.
• Replace the power supply blade to
